Biden: Dems 'don't spend enough time' talking to voters

Joe Biden thinks that Donald Trump has been able to tap into working class voter frustration because Democrats “don’t spend enough time” talking to people about how their policies will help them.

The vice president joked on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that’s why he’d be “living” in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan until the election campaigning for Hillary Clinton because he does well with working-class voters.

“We have the right policies but I don’t think we spend enough time,” explaining those policies, Biden said. He added that when he gives speeches, he makes sure he addresses people’s concerns immediately even if they don’t agree on how to fix them.

But Biden said there could be a reason Democrats haven’t had time to talk about policies for working-class voters: “We’ve been consumed by crisis, after crisis after crisis.”

Biden himself had toyed with the idea of running for president until early fall when he finally announced that he had run out of time to run an effective campaign. On Wednesday, he was asked if he wished it was him accepting the nomination on Thursday.

“It was really just the right decision for my family and I plan on staying involved, I’m not going away,” he said.

Biden will be speaking at the Democratic convention on Wednesday night along with President Obama.
